Bittersweet Chocolate Sauce image

Chocolate sauce is easy to make, but it's a good idea to do so in a double boiler, which eliminates the possibility of accidentally burning the sauce. If you don't have a double boiler, improvise one by placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Use high quality dark chocolate, not generic "baker's chocolate," for the best results.

Time 30m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped or broken into small chunks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier

Steps:

  • Place double boiler (or a makeshift version) over medium heat and bring water to a simmer. Put sugar, cream, chocolate and butter in top part of double boiler. Let simmer, without stirring, for about 15 minutes, until cream is hot, sugar is dissolved and chocolate has completely melted.
  • Add Grand Marnier and whisk until glossy and smooth, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and keep warm. Sauce may be refrigerated for later use, but cool completely first, then reheat in a double boiler.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate sauce, but this one is really good. It's not too sweet, and it has a nice rich flavor.

This sauce is a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce turned out grainy. Not sure what went wrong.

This chocolate sauce is amazing! It's so rich and creamy, and the bittersweet chocolate flavor is perfect. I used it to top some vanilla ice cream, and it was heavenly.
